Any benefit/downside to it's being a 32bit system for intended use below?
I am looking for a laptop for my 14 year old daughter. She would primarily be doing homework with MS Office and surfing the Internet, You Tube, Face book etc.. and using I Tunes. Would like to keep it under $350 and the above system, although a refurb., has better features than a new system for the price. Or is this overkill for the intended uses? Would like to stay with a 14 to 15" system. Not necessarily limited to Toshiba. Am happy with their reviews.
Thanks

Slickdeals is great. Only serious problem with Slickdeals is sometimes it is too easy to buy things. Just doing my part to prop up the world's economy  . Shortage of good laptop deals. If you are not in a rush, check SD twice per day. A desktop will typically have better performance than a laptop, especially for the same money. If you do not need to be portable, go with a desktop every time.
Would you consider a netbook? I have an upgraded Dell Mini 9 that would be well under your budget. |
